Your dream will be published in the next
issue, often along with comments from
the Electric Dreams Community.

All dreams are considered anonymous and published as such unless clearly indicated
otherwise! If the form is not working, send your dream to Richard Wilkerson

The DREAM-FLOW mail list is a way
to circulate dreams and their meanings around the Internet. Dreams flow into the list from
a variety of sources, including Usenet Newsgroups, Electric Dreams subscribers, dream-flow
list subscribers and the Dream Temple, a Web form for sending dreams.

Dream texts coming into dream-flow are considered as freely given, yet anonymous creations
that cross the boundaries of sleep and waking, personal and transpersonal, born and
unborn, created and found, and many other boundaries.

These dreams are seen as having at least as much status an any literary genre or text, and
the comments and interpretations are also seen as having at least the same status as
literary criticism, philosophical or metaphysical exegesis.

All dreams and comments are
published monthly on Electric Dreams, which is freely distributed throughout the Net.

The Electric Dreams Dream Wheels
are dream groups via e-mail. Generally they are 6-12 people who take turns exploring one
another's dreams. The basic format of the group involves first asking questions then
having each person take the dream as if it were his or her own and commenting. This
non-defensive style was developed online by John Herbert, Ph.d, Jeremy
Taylor, Jayne Gackenbach, Ph.D., Sarah Richards, Ph.D. and Richard
Wilkerson. It is very easy to learn, yet
insightful and delightful for all participants.

2. If you have not registered, please do so. It only takes a moment,
its free and it gives you access to many of the yahoogroups features. The only
one we are interested in here is the subscription option.
You can ignore most of the registration offers. Just give the essentials
and don't check any items you don't want. You will get an e-mail in a few
moments asking to confirm your registration. Just select REPLY and send it
back in.

All participants are obliged to adhere to the
ethical standards established by the Electric Dreams community:

The Electric Dreams community celebrates the many
benefits of dreamwork, yet recognizes that there are potential risks. We
agree with the ethical position taken by the Association for the Study of
Dreams (http://www.asdream.org), in that we support an approach to
dreamwork and dream sharing that respects the dreamer's dignity and
integrity, and which recognizes the dreamer as the decision-maker
regarding the significance of the dream. Systems of dreamwork that assign
authority or knowledge of the dream's meanings to someone other than the
dreamer can be misleading, incorrect, and harmful. Ethical dreamwork helps
the dreamer work with his/her own dream images, feelings, and
associations, and guides the dreamer to more fully experience, appreciate,
and understand the dream.

Every dream may have multiple meanings, and
different techniques may be reasonably employed to touch these multiple
layers of significance. A dreamer's decision to share or discontinue
sharing a dream should always be respected and honored. The dreamer should
be forewarned that unexpected issues or emotions may arise in the course
of the dreamwork. Information and mutual agreement about the degree of
privacy and confidentiality are essential ingredients in creating a safe
atmosphere for dream sharing.

Dreamwork outside a clinical setting is not a
substitute for psychotherapy, or other professional treatment, and should
not be used as such.

We recognize and respect that there are many valid
and time-honored dreamwork traditions. We invite and welcome the
participation of dreamers from all cultures. There are social, cultural,
and transpersonal aspects to dream experience. In this statement we do not
mean to imply that the only valid approach to dreamwork focuses on the
dreamer's personal life. Our purpose is to honor and respect the person of
the dreamer as well as the dream itself, regardless of how the
relationship between the two may be understood.

Using dreams for world peace, the World Dreams Peace Bridge
is a very active global community sharing dreams, real dreams and
discussing these in terms of their projects to help people around the
world.

Our basic principles are respect for many traditions, honoring
creativity, and kindness. The original members met on-line in a dream
discussion held as part of Jeremy Taylor's web site on dreams and sacred
narrative (www.jeremytaylor.com) and we strongly recommend becoming
familiar with Jeremy Taylor's Basic Hints for Dream Work and other
writings as a framework for understanding deams.

There are now hundreds of new dream discussions venues online. See
a summary of these lists discussed :

Join the Electric Dreams Dream Sharing Community
and CyberDream Information Revolution:
Be an Electric Dreamer!

Electric Dreams continues to offer a wide variety of free dreamsharing venues and this
means we log a lot of online time. It is fun and we do this because we love it! But
sometimes we can't keep up with all the networking tasks and then the quality is
diminished in our programs.

And not everyone has the time to be a staff member (though if you *do* have the time and
desire, drop me a line!).

And so we would like to ask for ELECTRIC DREAMERS - volunteers who can give just a few
minutes every week or even once a month. Here are some of the ED areas that Electric
Dreamers might help in:

- Co-Moderate a dream group.
- Start a column on ED about your favorite topic in dreams.
- Post a few dreams to a few Newsgroups or Mail lists.
- Post an ad regularly to a Newsgroup you will "sponsor".
- Post an ad to a mail list you will "sponsor".
- Post an ad to a SIG at your commercial online carrier.
- Surf the net for new dream web sites.
- Surf Educational college sites for dream bibliographies
- Send in addresses of magazine departments that might like to carry a story about dream
sharing in cyberspace
- Send in local resources on dreams - groups, schools, lectures, library resources,
newsletters and new age papers.
- Check you Yellow Pages for schools and ask what programs or classes on dreams and
dreaming dreams are
available.
- Many other projects available!
